Wendi Slatons most recent release is appropriately titled Worthy...

"Worthy is the result of over a decade spent suppressing, resisting, and questioning the validity of my voice as an instrument, as a writer, and as a human."

Two nationally distributed albums...touring to support each release...over a decade of songwriting split between Texas, Los Angeles, Nashville, and Europe...and over 1800+ live performances. This is the brief history of Slatons music career. A native Texan, Wendi cannot remember at time when music wasnt a part of her world. Her voice, a powerful instrument, commands attention. Her sultry vocals are reminiscent of the soul of Etta James, Bonnie Raitt, and early Melissa Etheridge. Combine this with introspective lyrics and you get a passionate and talented artist with depth.

It is apparent in every performance that Wendi is in her element on stage. Whether you catch her playing in an intimate coffeehouse or for an audience of thousands she will captivate you with her dynamic energy. Listeners relate to Wendi's raw emotion and the vulnerability that makes her music powerful. It is an undeniable passion for Wendi to express this music.

"I feared success, failure, rejection, and acceptance equally. I told myself I was too old, not good enough driven enough...I prayed for strength, grace, guidance, and faith and the universe gave me "Worthy".

  • BAD TO THE BONE
    author: CRAIG MCLAIN

    ONCE AGAIN SHE MADE THE HAIRS ON THE BACK OF MY NECK STAND UP. I WILL NEVER FORGET WHEN I GOT TO HEAR HER LIVE AT MY GREAT GRANDMA'S FUNERAL. SHE WAS OUTSTANDING. HOPEFULLY I CAN GET HER TO SING AT MY WEDDING IN OCTOBER. GREAT JOB WENDI. I HAVE THE CD IN THE GARADGE CD PLAYER SO I CAN JAM WHILE I AM WRENCHING ON THE RACECAR.

  • WOW
    author: Gina

    This is a great cd. The writing is amazing and touches on subjects everyone can relate to.

  • Powerful
    author: Music Connection Magazine

    Slaton’s deftly recorded tunes could be of interest to Music Supervisors. “Keep On Givin’” projects an easygoing optimism and benefits from a sympathetic arrangement that has strong country undertones. Meanwhile, the bluesy heart of “Mercy Mercy” recalls Melissa Etheridge in its ability to convey bitterness and struggle. Slaton’s CD showcases a powerful, agile voice, and on every tune there is well-chosen instrumentation. Most importantly, the singer is placed well upfront in the mix.

  • WOW!
    author: Mike Keane

    Where to start? This is really, really good. Cannot believe that she has not been picked up by a major label yet. What an amazing voice, she brings character and warmth to each song, and the songwriting is very very strong, combining depth and simplicty in perfect amounts. Buy this album and help make this lady the star she should be.

  • What a dynamic voice and so down to earth

    The words must be so true to Wendi. She is really writing and singing from the heart If you really listen to the words you begin to feel how true they are.

  • Undiscovered talent
    author: Max Schuldberg

    I can't believe somebody hasn't signed this girl! Having formerly been a recording artist on a major label, I feel I have a fair idea of what real talent is. This CD is the REAL DEAL. Songs are honest, direct and well written with clever turns of verse that make you think, "I've had that feeling but never been able to put it into words." Great songs, great musicianship, and an incredible voice on this CD.

  • Her songs are very powerful and touches the heart, loved it.
    author: Linda Peterson

    You feel like your in the midst of the song, and anyone could relate. Wendi has a little of Bonnie Rait and Sheryl Crow goin on there. Can't wait for her next CD. LOVED IT.

  • Top Quality Talent
    author: Brent Greer

    From the songwriting & musicians to the production & graphics...this record is top quality. I'm a touch critic, and though I buy lots of independent music, I rarely take the time to write reviews, but this woman can really sing.

  • Love every song - all from the heart

    author: Jay Quintero

    I was blown away by Wendi's songwriting, she holds nothing back. Her vocals deliver with true passion and pain. This CD is WORTHY to be in your CD collection forever, it's timeless!

  • This girl is truly awesome !
    author: Rooster Redd

    What a great collection of songs. Raw emotion wrapped in pure sensuality. Ms. Slaton has such an excellent voice. I would totally drink her bathwater !

  • I’m here to tell you ….it sounds awesome!!
    author: Pat B.- RW Newsletter

    Wendi uses a sultry, exuberant voice to go from soft tones to powerful vocals with ease. The majority of the songs are about the universal theme of love... when it hurts and when it makes you feel so good...when it makes you want to cry and ohhh when it sizzles.

  • It is GREAT !!!!!!

  • Support independent art -- BUY THIS CD
    author: Film Independent

    Wendi's music is a perfect example of finding extraordinary beauty in independent art. She has made this music on her own terms...allowing for the full flavors of her sound to show through. I agree with the comparison of Bonnie Raitt and Patti Griffin, and would recommend this CD to anyone who likes soulful, sexy, texas-style music.

  • Wendi's voice will stop you in your tracks!!!
    author: Dillon Gregory

    Wendi's voice stopped me in my tracks the instant I first heard it and I haven't been able to stop listening to this CD since. A thoughtful collection of songs that you should definately hear!!!
